I was absolutely stoked when these were announced, but I'm pretty disappointed, to be honest. Here's what could make this better:

Cosmetic feedback:

Can her fighting stance just please be the same as Darth Maul's? If you've ever played KOTOR, you know that that's more like her fighting stance. The current one looks extremely unnatural with her arm held waaaay back like that.

Her face needs some work. I don't need her to be super hot or anything, but she just doesn't look anything like the character we're used to seeing. That's all I'd like.

Kit feedback:

Subvert Defenses is just not working because she has almost no potency. Even with potency mods, it's not working. Any chance of adding some mk7 scanners on her? Alternatively (and even better), the potency boost on her basic really ought to be on her unique. Another option is to have her give herself the legendary battle meditation buff so she has at least +30% potency from that.

Her leadership is supposed to grant +150% tenacity, but in the gameplay we've seen so far, a Jedi team under her lead is still getting hit with debuffs all the time. Is this working correctly?

A little more offense would be nice. I know she's a support, but it's not like the Jedi faction is overflowing with offense as it is. Even with offense up, she's hardly doing any damage.

CG, you guys have a cash cow on your hands with these KOTOR toons. If you can make them decent characters—not even meta-changing, just decent—the money will be pouring in. But as they stand now, they are extremely underwhelming and will earn you much less than they could have. Even the GameChangers are saying that these are not worth spending any money on, even for whales. You can change that. Please consider it.

Dont like that leader ability at all. Ok for one round vs meta. But for anything else?

does the protection up (%200) go away after your first turn? either way with gmyoda giving out protection up i think her leader ability will quickly become the only viable one for an all jedi arena team.

It completely replaces and exceeds IGDs leadership too. Not like his is the only useless Jedi leadership ability, but all of the old guys need some tweaks or reworks.

I’ve gotten number 1 at payout with a full Jedi team under GMYoda, but i am interested in seeing how this leadership ability compares.

FINAL TEXT: At the start of Bastila's turn, she recovers 2% Protection for each buff she has, and all other allies gain 3% Turn Meter (doubled for Jedi) and Legendary Battle Meditation for 1 turn. (Legendary Battle Meditation: +50% Potency and +35% Counter Chance; doubled for Jedi)

Is the TM gain for each buff? If Bastilla has 3 buffs would all other allies gain 9% TM (18% for Jedi) or just a flat 3% regardless of buffs on her?
